Abstract

A portable universal clock, characterized by the fact that the entire mechanism of the watch is supported by a main shaft supported on the case or enclosure; that the whole mechanism can rotate, without altering the relative positions and movements between its various elements, around that axis, by actuating from the outside a knob or handle, acting, for example, on a geared endless screw with a ring gear integral with the own chassis of the watch machine; that this chassis be solidary with a cylinder externally engraved and divided according to a scale in degrees, minutes and seconds corresponding to the terrestrial meridians, with or without written indication of the main capitals of the globe; that the mechanism of the clock rotates, on the same support axis already mentioned, relatively and without altering its own position to another cylinder whose surface is divided into twenty-four equal parts corresponding to the twenty-four hours of the day with its minutes and seconds and makes it take a whole turn on this axis in the course of each day; and that in the enclosing case or box there are two peepholes with their lines of reference or flush, through which are visible areas of sufficient visuality of each of the two cylinders already mentioned.
